I’m really proud of what we accomplished today, even if others don’t get it

I’ve not talked about this much but I’ve started working out again. While I really, really want a treadmill, I’m making do with some free weights and a set of BowFlex kettlebells.

Holy sh*t, I couldn’t believe my eyes

I’m having a rough day emotionally and I’m struggling to find the patience that my kids deserve. I think by most standards I’m doing really well but I tend to hold myself to a much higher standard and therefore, I feel I need to do better. That being said, I’m not going to dwell on …

I’m so f*cking proud of my kids

Shortly after I published the last post about the kids not going to school, they ended up going to school. It wasn’t until closer to noon but they went and that’s positive.

Gavin did something pretty amazing tonight

I wanted to touch base and let you know that things are going pretty good at the moment. Gavin’s appointment with immunology went well and he’s had a pretty good day. In fact, Gavin’s had an awesome day. The kids had therapy tonight and while we were there, we were trying to work through a …

I want to share something positive from yesterday

I forgot to share a really positive moment from yesterday. My brain isn’t firing on all cylinders at the moment. So please forgive me. Mr. Emmett really, really, really likes watching Bob’s Burgers. I enjoy Bob’s Burgers as well but not so much that I can watch it nonstop. I was trying to get Emmett …
